Description: | Signed: yes Description: Van Ostade was born and worked in Haarlem. He was a pupil of Frans Hals around 1627, at the same time as Adriaen Bouwer, who influenced him. He was a member of the St Luke's Guild in Haarlem by 1634. He is best known for his scenes of peasant life. He painted but also produced many watercolours and etchings. Amongst his pupils were his brother Isack, Cornelis Bega, Jan Steen, and his close imitator Cornelis Dusart. This work is a pendant to the painting of A Peasant Filling His Pipe, also in the collection (A1942). | Subjects: | figure; everyday life; still life; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ostade, Adriaen van (Dutch draftsman and painter, 1610-1685) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8862... | Go to resource |
